DOOM 3 GUI scripting tutorials
While I build enough willpower to read Colin Moock’s Essential Actionscript 2.0 and prepare to make the practical jump into AS2 & Flash 7.2, I’ve went back in time and started dealing with an script-like language for user interfaces and interactions… the GUI scripting system for DOOM 3, which gives me memories of coding for […]

It’s alive
Yes, I’ve been really away from the page for quite some time. The reason is, instead of working with Flash on my spare time, I’ve been learning on how to create real game content for the UT2k4 engine. I started it all with a pseudo-mod I created just as en excuse to learn the tools, […]

MC Tween, Reloaded
A year ago I started working on some MovieClip tweening prototypes based on Robert Penner’s easing equations (I went to proto.layer51.com but couldn’t find any good one so I decided to start my own). I’ve been updating and evolving these tweening methods for quite a while (since I do use it on my everyday work) […]

Hot new pixel font site: UltraFonts
Creating pixel fonts for hinting emulation might not be that useful anymore, but original “pixel” font design is still alive and kicking; now more conscious of Flash’s limitations (erratic filling and blurring) than ever. One of the newest exponents of such trend is UltraFonts, a slick new site by Truth In Design. Joining the ranks […]

GotoAndPlay.it has a very nice interview with Extrajetzt from Germany, developers of the pseudo-3D, mode-7 emulation, Mario Kart-clone game Fast Froots (more information on this previous post). It’s a pretty nice, in-depth, technical interview. Here’s a quote: What are the most important aspects of your game engine ? <am> The first version of the 3dengine, […]

Even more coding fonts
Finally: some great font for programmers. First there’s ProFont, which is kind of small but specially suited for coding. It’s a .FON font, meaning it’s a real bitmap font that only works at a given size (Windows 3- days!), but it’s ported to Mac, Linux, and Windows TTF as well. I know lots of programmers […]

Remake: Prince of Persia
Well, this is impressive. Flash, of course. Kick that Gran-Vizir once for me, I still hate him after all these years.
